[Intro – choir fading into static] “Kyrie eleison… Christe eleison…”* Whispers curl like smoke in my skull There’s no voice left — just the echo of pull --- [Verse 1 – slow, icy beat with droning synths] I walked through fire, begged through the cold Shattered in mirrors, did what I was told You said let go — I listened too well Now I’m just a whisper in my own shell No screams left, not even decay My thoughts are graveyards I visit each day Don’t ask me to fight, I buried the blade Carved “sorry” in silence, then watched it fade --- [Pre-Chorus – spoken, layered with distorted backing vocals] I was never meant to make it home The stars forgot my name long ago Don't reach for me, I’m not yours to save I gave up the sky, embraced the grave --- [Chorus – explosive instrumentation, choir in background] Just let me go — this is not a phase This is a soul lost inside a blaze Don’t light candles, don’t sing songs I’ve been dead inside for far too long Just let me go — no white wings, no grace I’m not the hero, just empty space This is the echo of a boy who fell From heaven’s gate to a self-made hell --- [Verse 2 – slower, stripped back, heartbeat drum] I wore smiles like masks, stitched on with fear They cheered while I bled from ear to ear Therapy said I was “doing fine” But I spoke in code and crossed the line I don’t want pity, don’t say you care You vanished when I needed you there The bottle’s empty, the mirror’s cracked Even my shadow won’t come back --- [Bridge – gothic organ swell, ghostly harmony] What’s one more ghost in a world so numb? What’s one more breath when you feel like none? I used to cry — now I just collapse Swallowed by silence, choking on relapse --- [Chorus – even more raw, drums heavy, choir louder] Just let me go — don’t fake your pain You let me rot out in the rain Don’t carve my name on any stone I died long before I was alone Just let me go — the flame burned out The scream became a hollow shout You prayed too late, now I’m not here Only the void and what I feared --- [Outro – whisper, choir fades into static] "If anyone asks… Say I found peace." But we both know— I never did. ---

The hollow end
